1.00We travelled from Kyoto to join this tour. We consulted the company Amigo Tour’s about what time Shinkanzen to take to join the tour and booked reserved seats. Well, there are different types of Shinkansen Nozomi, Kodama and Hikari ranked from express to less express. Our JR Rail Pass didn’t allow Nozomi and what we didn’t realise was that the tour operator advised an 8:01 train that arrived at Hiroshima at 9:39 , ample time to join the tour at 10:00 . However the 8:02 train i booked wasn’t at Nozomi but a Kodama that arrived at 10:00 and we got to the meeting point at 10:10 , and they left without us and wouldn't allow us to join the tour at a later point. Thanks for nothing Amigo Tour’s.. We were also refused a refund. So we ended up doing the tour "self guided" thanks to the advice of another tour guide Mo from Japan Panoramic Tours and we had a great time. This was much easier than I thought it would be because our JR Rail Passes took us to all the locations on the itinerary including the ferry....and it turned out way better. This is included The Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park , the Atomic Bomb Dome and Miyajima Island and the famous floating Tori Gate, that wasn’t floating... very low tide. We also had a walk around in Hiroshima shopping district including a look inside SOGO a major department store.

Disgusting services from Viator and Amigo Tour

1.00This was a very disappointing experience wherein Viator and the outsourced partner Amigo took the money to book bullet train from Kyoto to Hiroshima and return but they provided tickets while returning from Hiroshima to Osaka without arranging for train tickets back to Kyoto during peak season of New Year. With just one hour notice, I had to buy very costly ticket and got delayed by 4 hours to return to our hotel. Very frustrating service from Viator wherein they took the money and denied the service.
